LETTER FROM UNCLE MARION DUNN
Dear Mr. Editor:
 
I boarded the train at Ellaville, June 28th and landed in Doerun at 5 
o'clock.  That afternoon, I went out to T.J. Spurlock and found them all 
fairly well, knocked about over the community looking at fine crops.  The 
rains have been good in this section since I have been here.  I had the 
pleasure of eating a big turkey dinner on the 4th with one Mr. Childree, which 
I enjoyed very much.  On the 5th, another big dinner was given by Mr. T.J. 
Spurlock, a jolly good crowd of the neighbors were invited and a very pleasant 
day was spent.  That afternoon I went over to Doerun and spent the night with 
my grandson, Mr. Ed Wingate, and early on the morning of the 6th, J.M. Varner 
came for me and took me to his home.  It is about an 18 mile drive from Doerun 
to his home, and the crops along the way is as good as could possibly be 
produced on the land.  We reached his home at 12:30 and found the family 
waiting for us with a good dinner on the table and an abundance of "Kleckly 
Sweet" melons on hand.  The crops in this community are fine and all the 
people seem to be to be in high spirit and a prosperous condition.  Land in 
this section is exceedingly high selling anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five 
dollars per acre.  I will leave this section in about a week for Fitzgerald to 
visit a brother at that place.  I will spend a few days with him and will and 
will leave for Milledgeville to visit the family of J.P. Poole, will remain 
there about a week, then I shall return to Ellaville.  I have been improving 
in health ever since I left home.--M.B. Dunn.
